Thank you for this amazing work, but most especially this last line. My husband was getting really discouraged until I read it to him and he realized we could potentially hear something this week (or early next, statistically speaking).

Paisaman, I take my hat off to you.

It seems like the CSC has sped up processing, or at least they have more people working the cases! With nearly 11,000 August petitions done, I'm hoping by mid-March we'll start seeing September petitions approved.

[Rac2012 0]

It's great that they're making this kind of progress, but do you think that the number of petitions processed will go up next week? I can't help but think that with around 2,000 decisions this week, it will take them a while to complete the rest of August, assuming that this number stays around the same.

Any input?

[Paisaman 13]

Realize that better than 2/3 of the petitions are still classified as I-130 but are for brothers sisters parents cousins, or children over 21. These take longer to process.

I base the dates on where the majority of approvals are, and in this case (this week) it was August 8-16. Hoping next week to get through August 22.

I have a feeling that yours will be processed on leap day

Good luck and thanks for uploading the stats!

So IR-1 i130s should be approved faster? (ir1 is spouse only, right?)

I'm assuming a large fraction of them may also be I-130s from LPRs too?

Yes. Spouses and/or minor children of US citizens have first priority.

I won't be surprised if we start seeing actions of September filers in next week.

[Paisaman 13]

We will start seeing *some* approvals sure but it will be a couple weeks before they really start in on September.
